As long as we collectively keep throwing 6 figures or more at every kid without question and regardless of the overwhelming evidence of near absolute zero ROI in most cases at "big Ed" which has become more often than not a 4 year extension of childhood with no job at the end, we will continue to be "unable" to live off less than 6 figures a year which is simply financially inexcuseable.
